Compact Nesting Mars Base

This is my entry to the MakerBot Mars Challenge. The Compact, Nesting Mars Base is a 1:100 scale Mars habitat.

• Unique design nests for transport to fit the general dimensions of the fairing of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy,¹ requiring only one trip to establish a small base with 3-4 members (the stick in picture 1 is the height of an average human)
• Includes necessary components for survival on Mars:
-Sleeping/bathroom/exercise area
-Kitchen/eating area
-Garden area
-Small nuclear generator
-Water/oxygen storage and splitting of water into oxygen
• The half-sphere command capsule, attached to a Mars base segment, serves as living quarters for the crew on their journey to Mars; upon arrival it becomes the communications room (Picture 1)
• The real Mars base is sealed/airtight, made out of composite materials like carbon fiber, and has radiation protection and insulation built into the structure; 3D model pieces can be attached to each other
